IT ISN'T JUST THAT THEY'RE OBSESSED WITH GRIEVANCE -- THEY WANT TO DOMINATE THE GRIEVANCE SPHERE

How it started:

How it's going:

Stetson and other brands are dropping hatWRKS, a Nashville hat store under fire for selling Star of David patches with the phrase “Not Vaccinated.”

People protested outside hatWRKS in Edgehill Saturday, saying using the Star of David was deeply offensive to the 6 million Holocaust victims.

In response, the owner of hatWRKS, Gigi Gaskins, posted this Instagram apology:

Here's one response to all this:

But they don't do this just because they want to trigger us. They do it because they sincerely believe that their grievances are as bad as any grievances in human history, or worse. They can't bear the thought that other people might have greater grievances.

When they respond to the repeated brutalization of unarmed blacks by police officers with such slogans as "All Lives Matter" and "Blue Lives Matter," that's what they're saying: Black people say they're suffering in ways that we aren't, and we can't tolerate that. We are the most aggrieved.

Within their world, it's quite acceptable to downplay the suffering of Blacks. But most of them regard themselves as great friends of the Jewish people, so Gaskins crossed the line.

But they'll never stop believing that their grievances are unsurpassed. Often they have to use "slippery slope" arguments to predict consequences that are highly unlikely -- for instance, that the closing of the gun show loophole will lead to confiscation of all privately owned firearms and then to dictatorship and tyranny. But trust them -- their suffering is the worst. No one in history has ever suffered more.
